The statement released by attorney Ivlis Mantilla from Jasmine Reed reads: “This incident has been totally blown out of proportion. I did not call the police and I did not ask anyone to call the police on my behalf. Willie is a good man and a great father. I have no intention of pressing charges and I have asked the authorities to immediately dismiss all charges against Willie. This is a private matter between my husband and I and for the sake of our family I would like to keep it that way.”

Reed was taken into custody around 3 a.m. Sunday. By Sunday afternoon, the 27-year-old posted a $1,500 cash bond and was released to former Heat teammate Okaro White, according to Miami-Dade County court records. Reed was arrested in downtown at the Miami Marquis condominium building at 1100 Biscayne Boulevard.

According to the Miami-Dade County Criminal Justice Online System, a stay away order has been issued with a pre-trial condition for Reed of no contact with his wife.

The incident began with an argument that started when Jasmine Reed told her husband she wanted a divorce, according to the police report as reported by the Miami Herald. She told police he then pulled her hair while she was holding their youngest child and she later hit him in the head with a glass candle to escape him.

Reed told police he didn’t put his hands on his wife, but did touch her hair as she got on the elevator at the Marquis and he admitted that he grabbed her purse and her shirt.

The report noted that Jasmine Reed “had red marks on her left wrist, right bicep, the right side of her chest and her back.”

Reed signed a one-year contract worth $1.5 million with the Clippers on July 18 after he declined his player option to return to the Heat for the 2017-18 season, turning down $1.6 million.

“We are aware of the situation in Miami regarding Willie Reed, and are working to determine the facts around the situation,” the Clippers said in statement after Reed’s arrest.

The NBA and its players association implemented a new domestic violence policy as part of the collective-bargaining agreement that went into effect July 1. Under the new policy, the NBA can conduct its own investigation and hand out punishment before a court rules on criminal charges.

Reed averaged 5.3 points and 4.7 rebounds in 71 games in a bench role for the Heat last season. He signed with Miami last summer after playing 39 games for the Nets the previous season.
